Dr Mobbs in his letter to AD2000 (February 2015) has doubts about the words Jesus spoke when he was dying on the Cross.

The words were to the disciple, "Behold your mother" and to his mother, "Woman, behold your son".

Our Lady has responded in words and deeds ever since.

Her apparitions and prophetic words have been of great support to the Church.

It is obvious that Jesus meant his mother to be a liaison between himself and his church.

Our spiritual mother has continued to play an important role and in return Catholics have bonded with her strongly.
